Throughout my college days I never really had a problem with being hung over. I tried not to drink too much, and I just used to say to myself "just have a beer with your meal". I still live by this philosophy today.

Mind you, if we had a race during the day, then we would always return to school afterwards and inevitably have a few beers. Sometimes we would miss out on eating anything large and have our fill with beer.

A lot of times we ended up having a party on the night of a race, and once again we would end up drinking more than we thought we had.

But the day after, with it being Sunday we would inevitably be up bright and early for our training run. The motto was "quarter to eight, don't be late", so the main problem was how do I stop myself from having a hangover.

We could normally manage to sleep until about 7.00 to 7.30 before we had to get up. Once we were ready we would go to the locker room to change into our running gear, ready for our 8.00 start to the day.

Most of the time to prevent the dreaded hangover we would drink some water or Gatorade before the run, if you were up for it you could even have a bagel to calm your stomach.

By the time that you had run between 7 or 8 miles you had managed to forget if you had a hangover, strange but it always seemed around this mark when it happened.

The best thing about it was that by the time you realized you did not have a hangover you were already most of the way home. So by the time you arrived back, you would be ready for a nice big breakfast.
